Hi Carl, You're welcome - I follow the ECForum every day - it's a great source of info, discussion and...other things!
I contacted you a while ago re: my problems with ECForum log-in but never heard back. If I promise not to discuss our CS junior chess shenanigans would you be able to sort this for me? :\
Regards,
Andy
What did Kasparov do, comment on motion 4?
Garry Kasparov has just been arrested outside the Moscow courthouse where the Pussy Riot trial is taking place. He was not there to protest, simply to attend, and the police cornered him and dragged him into the police van. This photo shows the police assaulting him inside the van. We hope he is all right and we will provide updates when we have them.
No comment necessary

I along with 120,000 others have signed the petition

Garry is now threatened with a 5 year jail sentence !
Police said in response they were ready to "carry out a test comparing a police dog's bite to Kasparov's teeth" in order to prove the alleged assault.
Kasparov writes about it in the Wall Street Journal
